The oily hair issue...

Seriously no joke;
Everyone knows the oilier your hair is the better it looks but, does this come at a price? Does the greasy hair cause acne? I have never had pimples in life until my hair was long and oily, now my face has more cheese and pepperoni than a homemade pizza pie!

Could be co-incidence. You don't say how old you are - maybe you've just reached the oily skin/zits stage at the same time as growing your hair. If that's not the reason, it could be that greasy hair is now more in contact with your face and is causing blocked pores.
Either way, if regular soap and water don't do the trick then go to a dermatologist. No-one needs to live with acne - my eldest son had terrible acne when he was 15 and a course of Roacutane cleared it completely. (I think the drug might be called something slightly different in the US). Deal with this sooner rather than later and you'll avoid scarring.
Good luck with the hair - and the spots !

you may want to switch shampoo and conditioner, it may be what is causing your breakouts. if you get the conditioner on your face, it has pore clogging ingredients in it and can cause breakouts. after you wash your hair, wash your face last and look into getting a more gentle poo/cond. try to keep your hair off your face. especially when u r washing it in the shower.
